Group A Traits Group B Traits
Individuals with group A traits build large nests high
up in large trees so that they are protected from
predators. They have big tails that help them balance
while climbing around trees. They tend to move
around during the daylight and have smaller eyes.
Individuals with group B traits can either build their
nests in trees or underground in burrows so that they
are protected from predators. Like individuals with
group A traits they have a large tail that helps with
balance, but also have sharp claws and larger eyes
that are good for living underground.
1. Use the information in the reading above to explain how the organisms with Group A traits are
different from the organisms with Group B traits.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

it is the most commonly accepted one

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
